Where was Ten Pound Poms filmed? Filming locations for the new BBC drama starring Michelle Keegan
Michelle Keegan is returning to the small screen this weekend in a brand new BBC drama. The former Coronation Street star ditched filming in the north, and her home in Essex with her husband Mark Wright, to head to Australia to film Ten Pound Poms.
But life down under isn’t exactly the idyllic dream the new arrivals have been promised. Struggling with their new identity as immigrants, we follow their triumphs and pitfalls as they adapt to a new life in a new country far from Britain and familiarity.Ten Pound Poms has been created by BAFTA-winning Danny Brocklehurst, the brains behind Sky Comedy Brassic and BBC drama Ordinary Lies and produced by Eleven, the team behind the award-winning Sex Education.
Game of Thrones actress Faye Marsay will take on the role of Annie in Ten Pound Poms, a 1950s housewife in post-war Northern England, married to Terry, who is played by Warren Brown. Viewers will most likely recognise the Warrington-born actor from a few different roles, including playing Donny Maguire in Shameless, Andy Holt in Hollyoaks, and DS Justin Ripley in the BBC crime drama Luther.
The scenes were shot in and around Sydney, as well as primarily in Scheyville National Park, a protected park located in the north-western suburbs of Sydney.
